The NFL has made it a cause to see that worthy fans get a chance to see the Super Bowl. A recent example saw New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye surprise a fan of the team and military vet with Super Bowl tickets and a trip to New Orleans next month.
There is a connection between Maye and the military, as his grandfather served in the Navy.
Maye teamed up with USAA and The American Legion to surprise Matt Jabaut, an Army vet from 1997 to 2005.
Jabaut lives in Lewiston, Maine, and will bring his fiancé Caroline, who served in the Navy, as his guest.
Jabaut will meet Maye at the USAA Salute to Service Lounge before attending the game.
“It was awesome and a lot of fun getting to surprise Sgt. Matt Jabaut in Portland, Maine, with the news that we were sending him and his fiancé to the Super Bowl,” Maye said. “Knowing my grandfather served, I have so much respect and gratitude for the men and women who’ve served our country, like Staff Sgt. Jabaut. “I’m so excited to have teamed up with USAA and The American Legion to gift Matt this once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I’m looking forward to seeing him again in New Orleans!”
